shining mark" We extend to the family our
heartfelt sympathy in their sorrow. Though
they can but mourn their loss, yet may they
feel that their Father sends in mercy TO
draw them,
Nearer my Sod to Thee,
Nearer to 1hee,"
and may they trust Him, assured that,
"E'en the hour that darkest seemeth.
Will His changeless goodness prove
From the gloom His brightness streameth,
God Is wisdom, God is love" M.
